Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 200 Mystery in the Net (End)

Of course no stones will be left at the scene, Dr. Ali continued to explain.

"If it's a normal piece, it will naturally stay where it is. But if it looks like this scallop..."

Dr. A Li poured the seawater in the bucket into the large basin. As the water level rose, the scallops floated up, "the stones floated up."

Police officer Henggou was surprised: "It really floated. But, wait a moment. What stone can be as convenient as a shell?"

Suddenly, police officer Henggou had a flash of inspiration, "Masaka, is this small wooden boat left near the scene?"

Dr. Ali nodded and confirmed, "That's right. The murderer first drunk Mr. Arakawa with wine, then netted him with a fishing net, put him in a sandpit on the beach, and finally covered him with the ship as a stone." In this way, even if Arakawa-san finds out that the sea tide is high, he will drown at the bottom of the boat as a last resort.”

"And as long as the high tide continues to increase, the boat will naturally float up, be washed away by the sea, and get away from Mr. Aramaki. The murderer was waiting for this moment in the restaurant."

Dr. Ali turned his head to the three fishermen and revealed the answer, "Mr. Noboshi Shimojo, I should be right!"

"Arden..."

"Is it really you?"

Yoshizawa Yuta and Nezu Shinji looked at the next stool in shock.

Officer Henggou also walked up to Shimojo Todori, "Mr. Shimojo, are you serious?"

"Is that okay?" Ari whispered to Conan who was hiding behind him.

Conan nodded, "Well, that's very good, then you just need to cooperate with me."

Henggou turned his head and asked doubts: "No, what about the wine bottle, slippers, and buttons on the boat just now?"

Dr. Ari stood up from the ground and blocked Conan behind him.

Detective A Li appeared on the scene, and he said: "When we see those things, we will naturally think that Mr. Arakawa once sat on the boat. No one would have thought that this boat was once used as a heavy object and pressed on the victim. Bar."

"As for the sea water at the bottom of the ship, it is to increase the weight of the ship, so that it will be more difficult for Mr. Araki to escape after he wakes up unexpectedly."

Shimojoto sweated and said, "Indeed, according to what you said, people can commit murder even if they are not at the seaside, but how can you say that I am a murderer?"

Detective Ali said: "Because you know Mr. Aramaki very well, the order of the call records in the mobile phone, and you also said that you called after Mr. Yoshizawa."

Nobuo Shimojo quickly said: "That's because Yuta said that he had already called him before going to the Chinese restaurant."

Detective Ali said: "Mr. Yoshizawa didn't arrive at the restaurant until around 8 o'clock, and the time you made the first call was 7:47, how can you be sure that Mr. Yoshizawa called before you? "

"Of course it's because..." Nobuo Shimojo continued to quibble.

Detective Ali interrupted him, and said: "This is because you already knew that Mr. Yoshizawa had already called Mr. Aramaki's cell phone. Because after you put the boat on Mr. Aramaki At that time, I heard the phone call from Mr. Yoshizawa with my own ears."

"I see." Henggou looked at Shimojoto.

Shimojoto was sweating profusely, and he pretended to be calm and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just your nonsense. I just guessed it right. In the order of his call records, you can say that I am the murderer." , is this too exaggerated?"

Shimojo said more and more vigorously, he took a step forward, "According to what you just said, there is no evidence at all to prove that I killed that old man. You only explained that he was drunk. When people get tangled in fishing nets and thrown into the sea, that doesn't prove anything at all."

"That makes sense, Dr. Ali." Officer Henggou nodded in agreement, "If you don't have evidence, you can't say that he killed someone."

Dr. Ali was also a little flustered, and a bean-sized sweat appeared on his cheek.

Detective A Li said: "Of course I can't have any evidence. Because all the evidence here is in your favor."

Toshiro Shimojo breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "You are right. According to the police, when this guy died, I was in a Chinese restaurant far away from here. This is absolutely true." The corners of his mouth rose wildly, feeling himself stabilized.

Detective A Li asked, "Then can anyone prove this?"

Shimojo Deng suddenly said in surprise: "Ah? Aren't you clearly there at the time?"

"Ah, when did that happen? I've been a little amnesia lately."

Dr. A Li cooperates with a distressed expression.

"You, you guy." Shimojoto's face darkened immediately, he ran over and grabbed Dr. Li by the collar, "You old man was obviously there at the time, and I was sitting at the table next to you in the restaurant, He died at 8 o'clock, have you forgotten?!"

Henggou snorted, and said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Shimojo."

"Huh?" Shimojo looked over in displeasure.

Officer Yokomizo asked, "How on earth did you know that Mr. Aramaki died at 8 o'clock?"

Seeing Todo Shimojo look like he was about to hit someone, Kenta stepped forward to separate him, "Hey, let's chat."

Nobuo Shimojo quickly said: "Actually, I accidentally overheard you when the police officers were whispering."

Police officer Henggou moved closer, "That's strange. The death time estimation report I received clearly stated that Mr. Aramaki died between 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock."

"You, you stop talking nonsense with me, the time should be more accurate." Shimojo said weakly, "It can be seen from the stiffness after death to the spots on the body."

Detective A Li said, "You are right. Under normal circumstances, the time of death can be judged by the body spots, stiffness after death, and the temperature of the rectum. But the body can only be determined at a certain location and at a certain temperature. Right time."

"However, Mr. Aramaki's body was hit by the sea on the beach. As a result, gravity caused the blood in his body to settle down, making it impossible to determine the time of death from the corpse spots. The stiff muscles after death will be fixed even more. location. As for his body temperature, the constant drop due to the impact of the seawater makes his rectal temperature drop at a rate different from that of ordinary people."

"In this way, it is impossible to deduce the correct time of death. Therefore, it is impossible for the police to have anyone who can determine the time of death of Mr. Arakawa. But the murderer who personally used this method to kill Mr. Araaki different."

Shimojo Tobo's hands were trembling, his face was gloomy.Then, he knelt down on the ground, his head bowed deeply.

Yoshizawa Yuta: "Arden..."

Nezu Shinji: "Could it be that you are doing it for our father...?"

Shimojo said: "That's right, don't thank me yet. Otherwise, when will that fellow Aramaki, who killed our father at sea eight years ago, be able to avenge his mortal revenge?"

Officer Henggou asked: "What you are talking about now, could it be that eight years ago, knowing that there was a storm at sea, it was the accident that happened at sea?"

Shimojo put his hands on the beach and stared fiercely at the ground, "Our father didn't go out to sea that day to be a hero. They did it to call back the fishing boat that went out to sea despite the storm. out to sea."

"However, that guy, taking advantage of the high waves, swayed the rudder and knocked our dad's boat away with his boat. Even seeing our dad fall into the sea from the boat, he still refused to save him. So straight back to the pier."

Shimojo Nobo seemed to be able to see the tragedy at that time, and his eyes were full of fire, which was the flame of hatred.

He stood up and said, "I caught a timid crew member on his ship and asked him personally. It is absolutely unmistakable."

Nezu Shinji said: "In that case, why didn't you catch him and report the case to the police?"

Shimojo turned around, "Because that guy suddenly disappeared. I asked Aramaki about the crew's whereabouts, and he told me with a cold expression, 'You should know what a complete crime is, right? Obviously two people went to sea together, One of them pushed the other into the sea, so there were no dead bodies and no witnesses at all, it was neat and tidy.'”

Yoshizawa Yuta's expression turned ugly, "Then, that crew member was also imprisoned...?"

Nezu Shinji said: "But, even if this is the case, you don't need to kill him. Then you are not the same as him?"

Shimojoto turned around in surprise, "What are you talking about, I avenged you for killing your father. I was willing to sacrifice myself, and finally mustered up the courage to do justice for the heavens before I killed that guy. You all shout , What kind of attitude is this!"

"No, you're wrong." Xiaolan said suddenly.

Sonoko looked at her unexpectedly, and Conan poked his head out.

Toshimojo turned his head to look at Ran fiercely.

Xiaolan had a sad expression at this time, as if she was about to cry, she could always empathize with others.

"You're wrong." Xiaolan raised her head and looked at Shimojo seriously, "Because the word courage should mean to be righteous and reckless. You can't use the word courage as the name of a murderer. reason."

Xiaolan's eyes were sad, as if she was lamenting for this person who was blinded by hatred.

Shimojo Tou was speechless by Xiaolan's words, with a sad expression on his face, and was taken back to the Shizuoka County Police Station by Police Officer Henggou without any resistance.

In the evening of the next day, after tonight, everyone had to leave Izu again and go back to their school routine.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi squatted on the beach, playing with seagulls.

"Am I talking too much, Yuanzi?" Xiaolan asked.

Yuanzi smiled and shook his head, "I think you are so brave, even I was scared."

Xiaolan said: "Actually, I just think that if it were Xinyi, he would definitely be reprimanded like this."

Yuanzi raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing? Showing off?"

Xiaolan smiled: "I don't have any."
